Testimonials
| " I am a physician practicing in Miami Beach, Florida. During the past year, I have been under the care of Dr. Vivian Yi Bin Shou-Litman for acupuncture, used for treatment of Migraine headaches, insomnia and stress reduction. Dr. Litman is a soft spoken, compassionate caregiver, and her services have done wonders for my quality of life. I have gone to several acupuncturists in my life, and Dr. Litman is among the best that I have used. I highly recommend her to all patients, and to any facility contemplating having her join their practice." |

| " I was introduced by a coworker to this world of Oriental Medicine, one day we were both talking at work and as I was listening to her conversation about Acupuncture it brought my interest in it. While driving home I started asking myself if Acupuncture will help me with my problem. Back in 2004 I was diagnosed with a gynecological disorder and for treatment birth controls pills were given. I could only take them for three days because of the side effects and how my body was reacting to it. On the other hand I was feeling overwhelmed, depressed, I felt that I did not have control over my personal life. I worked in the medical field and as every person that is reading this article knows “STRESS” related to anything in general is the leading cause of health problems today. I personally was lacking of energy, mistreating my body, not focusing on my goals, and I was not doing it on purpose. I scheduled my first appointment with Vivian Yi Bin Shou-Litman, A.P., the most kind, great and peaceful person I have ever met in my life. That day I only told her about my physical problems but not about my emotional problems and what was amazing to me was the fact that she could feel it. I’ve been doing treatments since February and I consider myself a proof of how much acupuncture can help you. Today my medical issue is resolved and as Vivian and I were talking on my last appointment I had noticed changes in my life. I feel different, and I am acting differently towards myself and all of this became possible because of the gift that she shares with us, the greatest gift that I definitely recommend to every human being that I get in contact with: Acupuncture. It will change your life. " |

| " My husband and I had our first baby through IVF because we both have fertility problems. I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and my husband has a low sperm count as well as poor motility. While we were very fortunate to conceive during our first IVF cycle, we wanted to improve our chances during a second cycle by any means. After doing some research into acupuncture (neither of us had ever tried it before) and thanks to a referral from a close friend, we began our treatment with Dr. Shou-Litman. Dr. Shou-Litman was determined to help us achieve a natural pregnancy through acupuncture and herbal medicine . After a few months of treatment, and just days before we were scheduled to begin our second cycle in January of this year, we learned that I was pregnant! Despite many several doctors advising us that our only chance to conceive was through IVF, we are expecting our second baby girl this fall. Thank you Vivian!" |

| " My experience with Doctors is they identify symptoms then apply a reimbursable solution without examining alternatives. Having been referred to Dr. Vivian Litman, I explained what I thought she wanted to hear, symptoms .. and was surprised to be asked simple but powerful questions about my health and life. Vivian has her own sense of my health and what it could be .. she shares her thoughts with great insight and gentleness. She uses her knowledge and her science to stimulate my body to heal and protect itself. Her care and methods are so special and so different than what I have been used to for 50 years ... I choose to believe she is magic. " |

" I began acupuncture treatment with Dr. Shou following two unexplained early miscarriages. My OB doctor suspected a hormone imbalance and suggested that I take progesterone supplements once I became pregnant again. After 3 months of acupuncture treatment and herbal supplements to increase natural progesterone production and diet changes, I became pregnant again. At four weeks, my doctor tested my hormone levels and found that everything was normal and I would not need progesterone supplements. At five weeks, an ultrasound detected a yolk and gestational sak. At six weeks, an ultrasound detected a heartbeat! For many women these milestones go unnoticed, but for women who are struggling with infertility, the detection of a heartbeat is a huge hurdle to jump. I continued weekly acupuncture sessions throughout my first trimester and found that my early pregnancy complaints are minimal. Acupuncture was able to relieve morning sickness and boosted my energy level. During the second trimester acupuncture helped me to relieve stress and anxiety and strengthened my pregnancy. I am now almost 35 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. I feel a sense of calm and confidence that I did not know was possible following two miscarriages. I truly believe that Dr. Shou’s acupuncture treatments combined with herbal supplements were a huge factor in the success of this pregnancy. Any woman who is struggling with infertility should consider acupuncture and other forms of complementary alternative medicine. " |

" After several years of trial, thousands of dollars spent on tests, treatments and consultations in 2 well renowned fertility clinics we were told that conception was impossible for us and that we needed to find a sperm donor. I started my first acupuncture treatment at Dr. Yi Bin Shou-Litman during my first and only IVF cycle. I had read on several articles how effective acupuncture was for IVF and other fertility treatments. Although skeptical I went to my first treatment and that same day I experienced changes. That night I was able to sleep and the fluid retention from the hormone treatments improved significantly. Although the IVF treatment was unsuccessful I continued acupuncture and my husband also started the treatments. He has been a diabetes patient for more than 10 years and suffers from retrograde ejaculation. Today, I am 8 weeks pregnant. With the combination of Acupuncture treatments to both of us for 6 months 1 hour every week, very mild treatments of Western medicine, and a natural diet of organic food, vegetables and fruits we were able to accomplish pregnancy with IUI. My husband last sperm count was 70 Millions with 60% motility versus the initial numbers of 45 or no sperms and sometimes 0 to 3% motility. During the six month of acupuncture treatment Dr. Yi Bin Shou-Litman treated me for detoxification from the hormones taken during my IVF. She also treated my husband’s diabetes which is almost under control. " |

" I became interested in options to traditional medicine when I realized I was on more meds and felt terrible instead of better. At that time, I decided to pursue other solutions to my conditions which were high anxiety, stress induced panic disorders, High Blood Pressure, Gastrointestinal disturbances....just to name a few. I selected Vivian Shou Litman due to her Chinese heritage and qualifications. I felt she would have a greater knowledge of Acupuncture and a better understanding. After the first session I felt noticeably better with a major reduction in symptoms. I did around 6 visits (1 per week) and felt great and symptom free. Her husband is a brilliant doctor with an incredible knowledge of herbal and vitamin supplements. With his help and the acupuncture treatments, I was able to eliminate all my meds and I felt fantastic. That was two years ago. Today, I'm now doing 1-2 sessions per month to maintain the benefits. Interesting fact, I'm now exposed to twice the Career stress and responsibilities than before and I feel great. I'm not sure how to thank them..... they are incredible practitioners and great people too. Listen to their suggestions and knowledge-apply the information into your fast paced lifestyle - then witness a significant quality of life improvement, both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Vivian and I have to my wife, sister and whoever else needs help.... truly amazing results. " |

" When I first went to Vivian, I was not a believer of acupuncture. However, due to a small intervention at another location, I was intrigued enough to try. My primary concern was sleeplessness and weight loss. When I visited Vivian, I was extremely skeptical but was desperate enough to at least attempt to open my mind. I was not prepared for the results I received!!! I thought that maybe if, in a few sessions, I did not receive some sort of relief, I would quit. I was pleasantly surprised to have results after the first treatment!!! I actually started feeling hungry (Vivian helped my metabolism begin to work again) the day following my treatment. And, I was able to sleep that night as well! Thanks to Vivian, I feel energized, am sleeping and resting, and am actually losing weight as my metabolism "kicked in". This is great as these were my initial goals. However, as I started to share with Vivian some of my other ailments, she began to address each one quickly. One of those ailments was that I suffered from acid reflux and lived on antacids. Well, since Vivian treated me for that, I have no need for antacids! I am a true believer and have referred my family and friends to Vivian. As I speak to others who go to acupuncture, they tell me that I am lucky to have found such a special healer. I am told that not all acupuncturists are able to bring the results I am seeing and that I am truly blessed to have found someone with such a special touch of healing. I believe them as I cannot adequately describe the specialness I feel from Vivian. I am truly blessed to have found my healer. " |
